Didn't see it fall but we stopped for water, and I noticed it missing. We turned and headed back the way we'd come, and my son spotted it on the side of the road about half a mile back.

I was planning to call GoPro and claim it under warranty but since I found it, I'm only going to claim the broken mount. The case doesn't seem to have suffered any from the fall.

Guys. I have a new Hero 3 Black. If you purchase the new skeleton case, it has openings in the side so you can run external power to the gopro. With mine, I have a large battery, called a "Morphie" inside one of my jacket pockets. I run a cable from it up to the GoPro on top of my helmet. With arrangement, I can run the GoPro all day long and not worry about battery life. I know it may seem weird, but it really is not. I use the remote to turn the camera on/off and change setting as I ride.

I might get a Silver edition tomorrow from Cabela's. I have almost $200 in free points from them and they are offering another 10% back in points. It seems that people have less problems with the silver edition over the black. I also am one of the few that does not have a smart phone so the Bluetooth app doesn't matter to me.

Thanks for the info on running power. Planning on long rides so external power will help a bunch.

I looked for a skeleton case on the GP website for the H3 but didn't see one, Are you talking about the frame . I considered it for ext power but the cam is too exposed for my use in the dirt, I've already replaced the lens cover on the supplied case due to a chip from a roost. I'd hate to expose a naked cam to the abuse the case gets, falls, trees etc... I'm thinking about drilling my stock case for a usb connection.

I checked out the Morphie, all day filming is great battery life. Which model are you using? I saw a 2500MAH and a 4000MAH, I'm getting about an hour per GP battery (1050MAH) I'd like to find something that will give me about 6hrs. We just finished a 3 day unsupported DS ride and I charged the batteries off the bike but it's slow and doesn't keep up with the filming. (3hrs to charge - 1 hr to deplete)
